book suggestions?

hi, im a 21 year old young women who would appreciate any suggestions about what to read next. i like romance, adventure, fantasy, mysteries, satires, and sometimes science fiction.

i recently read charlotte bronte's Villette. i liked it, but i would prefer my next read to be different, i dont like reading similar books back-to-back (so dont suggest jane eyre). i also just read short stories by oscar wilde. i pretty much want a change of pace from 19th century books. my local library isnt big, so please suggest something i can easily find. thanks!

    i will give you names diana palmer, debbie macomber, cathie gillen thacker, j.a. jance, erica spindler, robert b. parker, john grisham, donald mccaig, i read alot. these are just some of my favs. palmer, macomber, thacker are romance, jance and spindler are thrillers, mccaig wrote the latest continuation of gone with the wind called rhett butler's people. parker and grisham crime. does your library have an inter library loan service. where i live we have that. it is great. i have gotten books from all over the us. i live in texas. if you don't have it at your library try to get it if possible.

    I just finished reading 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan. I personally liked it even though it was quite challenging. However, some people said that it wasn't good, some people say that it was. The beginning dragged...and was boring, but the climax was really interesting so I think it's a good read :) I'm going to start reading 'Saturday' by the same author. I've heard that it's better than 'Atonement.'

    I'm reading 'P.S. I Love You' by Cecelia Ahern right now, and even though I'm still on chapter four, I can say that it's fabulous. I love it, and I haven't heard many negative comments on either the book or the movie. I am pretty sure that you will like this one if you like romance :)

    Lauren Weisberger (of 'The Devil Wears Prada' fame) has two new titles out: 'Everyone Worth Knowing' and 'Chasing Harry Winston'. You might enjoy those.

    read twilight by stephenie meyer and harry potter by j.k.rowling. they are the best books ever written.

    but if you wanna read something with more quality and thrilling, i'd suggest the golden rendezvous by alistair maclean.

    and anne of green gables is especially good. it is considered to be the most imaginative and creative book ever.
